Network/uPNP/Ethernet/DLNA connectivity: Was this a recent addition?
11932
I bought Samsung 52'' LCD with DLNA support and already have a NAS drive (DLink - D232) that supports UPnP. All my media is in the NAS device. I haven't received the TV yet or else would have tried myself, but does anyone know if DLNA supported devices (my TV in this case) can access media from UPnP supported servers (my NAS in this case)?

I was just about to post the same question. I really don't want to run an ethernet line over to the player. I've looked at wireless access points but they're not much cheaper than a full blown router. I'm starting to think I'll end up with another wireless router (with 4 or more ports) to use as a bridge to my existing wireless lan. I just really don't want to spend upwards of $100 just to get bdlive.

You will have trouble connecting to your router even after the upnp protocol have been engaged.

Yes. Not a problem. Although I have a local network, my whole set-up is wired because everything is close and that's the most direct way for me to handle it.

Yes, it uses DLNA technology as well as AirPlay. I have 5 of them, as well as two SANS400's and use them almost daily.

I'm typing this on a computer which is connected to a WRT1900AC running OpenWRT. As of May 2015 the latest trunk builds of Chaos Calmer run although there are still bugs (which I haven't hit yet). So it runs and it's getting there. I run OpenVPN on my NAS behind the router though so I haven't tested OpenVPN on router. Port Forwarding works as does QOS/codel helping my bufferbloat scores. I'm pretty happy so far and I'm sure it'll just get better.

I remember reading at the time I bought the device, that it was possible to connect more than one unit on a network. I believe there are some steps that have to be taken for it all to work.

It supports link aggregation, but not IEEE 802.3ad. I was hoping to do the same thing but had to do something different.

What you're looking for is DLNA networking. I don't see anything in this model's description about it, but the LG BD570 (next model up) states that it does it. Hope this helps.

You are correct. The exception is if your router has an HPNA coax connection. Many ATT Uverse modem/routers have this built in.

Yes, networked with ethernet port. We're using it in an environment with Windows7 pc's (and a few straggling XP PC's)

Please try to check the DHCP of your router, and if the UPNP have enable or not, thanks.

I forgot to add that the tv must be connected to Ethernet in order to use DLNA

That's what I would like to know also! Most of the systems will say internet ready, but only dsl. Get with the times! What will work on a 45 lan/ethernet?

Thanks for the post.My speeds have slightly improved since I upgraded my network to gigabit and upgraded my system to quad 64 bit. My router, NICs, switch, and of course the NAS are all gigabit now. Still, I only get up to 10MB/s. Seems faster than what windows reports though. The only thing I didnt upgrade was the cables, from what I was told cables shouldnt make a difference. Thanks for the reply.

That's been my experience too, at least with the btd-v401 which I tried on Windows 7 (both 32-bit and 64-bit), 8, and 10. I'm ready to throw in the towel with apt-x and look for some other low-latency cable-free solution.

Not sure what DLNA is. Tell me what that is and maybe I can answer your question.
